What a beautiful, deep color. I am finishing a baby sweater just now that shares a similar color story. We visited with the family of a guy my hubby works with whose family is from Turkey. We met their beautiful 3.5 month daughter. They showed us the nursery and explained that they chose the pistachio shade of green because the area of Turkey the dad was from is famous for pistachios. I had my knitting with me that day of course and received many oohs and ahhs over the tank tops I was making for my girls. I knew instantly that I needed to make a green baby sweater for their little one. Just the sleeves to go:)

Like Don, I experienced a blast from the past. In high school there was always an International Night each year where the language classes performed skits and served international foods. I can still recall singing: “M-i-c, H-e-l, S-O-u-r-i-s… Michel Souris… Michel Souris…” Yes, the tune changes slightly for that extra letter.

Beautiful yarn/color. I was on a serious brick red kick years ago, and never really recovered… I’m still very drawn to it.

I’ve had the same thing happen – needing to do a scarf or something out of THIS yarn RIGHT NOW, and the next thing you know, it turns into a gift for someone quite unexpectedly. You’ll learn the reason soon enough, Alison – you always do!

Suzanne, we’ve had a class like that at DFW Fiber Fest. Might be too far for you to travel.

I love the way your mind works!!!! lol

That yarn looks very very comfortable. I need to find a class where they explain the different types of yarn…

M-I-C, K-E-Y, M-O-U-S-E. WOW! Did THAT bring back memories! Here I am writing on my blog about a few things when I was in the army stationed at Fort Lawton, and that phrase reminded me of the more-than-once times when I would go from the Orderly Room, where I worked, to the Day Room across the path to get a soda or something, and here would be a bunch of our soldiers awaiting shipment gathered around the TV, watching — you guessed it — M-I-C, K-E-Y, M-O-U-S-E.
